Opus Development Environment

Create and share new, valuable solutions in an open, well-defined, and secure development environment

Native tools to empower innovation

The TraceLink Development Environment (TDE) is a low-code/no-code development environment that enables certified development partners to build solutions for hundreds of thousands of companies working together on the TraceLink Network powered by the Opus Platform. Such solutions include multi-enterprise and enterprise applications, add-ons, and enterprise system integrations. The Opus Development Environment provides:

• Rapid definition of solutions using a metadata-driven model
• Interactive development using Java or JavaScript
• Rich access to the extensive Opus Platform, its capabilities and data services
• Tools to manage the solution lifecycle

Understanding the need for open development environments

Today’s developers face immense challenges in creating world-class solutions without critical tools needed to develop, deploy, and manage their solutions. Such challenges often include:

Integrating coding experiences

An integrated coding experience would take full advantage of the platform and its capabilities while minimizing unnecessary infrastructure and architecture detail.

Testing and debugging

Closed environments inhibit development teams from testing and debugging developed solutions across platform-wide and network-wide use cases.

Lifecycle solution management

There are currently limited and insufficient deployment and lifecycle solution management tools available to development teams.
